Stop Hunger Now

Phillips
Nope.
Not a funny hat convention. The 'Stop
Hunger Now' event on Saturday April 21 packaged 37,800 meals with
100 participating volunteers. We had Dave Worker and Charlie
Phillips and 12 Key Clubbers participating during the 9-11 AM
first shift.
Dave Worker
(above picture) worked as a food source supplier and runner for a
solid two hours. The Key Clubbers served as food packagers,
runners, and food weighers and packet sealers.
Each food
packet consists of a packet of vitamins, enriched dried
vegetables, soy meal and rice. The packet weighs approximately 380
grams, supplies 6 meals when 6 cups of hot water is added and
costs 25 cents per meal.
The 100
volunteers put together 6,300 packets that will provides 37,800
meals. The overhead to sponsor the event for one shift is
approximately $9,450 or about $25,000 for the day.

Key Club News

Our major event of the week was 'The Stop Hunger Now' food
packaging event. All told we had 12 Key Club members
participate including nearly all the Board members (above
picture). The experience was amazing to watch about 100 people
of all ages work together to fill food packets and pack into
boxes ready ship. In two hours the volunteers pack about 6,300
food packets or over 37,800 meals.
To start off
this successful week, we had one of our best board meetings we
have ever had. We learned the true meaning of Key Club from
our two key clubbers Lauren Lee and Marissa Kuriki , who for
the first time in known Brea Key Club history, attended the
Key Club District Convention
We also discussed ways to fundraise for next years DCON
starting now. They brought back new ideas that will help us
organize better and make the club stronger.
Marissa also attended the monthly Kiwanis DCM dinner meeting
with five other Brea Kiwanis Club members. Thank you for all
your help and support!!
Key Club Meetings
 Upon arrival at the school, check in at the Front Desk of the
Admin Office and ask for a visit request during school hours;
you sign a visit request for that day. There is visitor
parking just outside the Admin offices near the flag pole and
around the back near the new building.
Feed the Seniors
Remember, on the second Wednesday of
each month, members of our club descend upon the Brea Senior
Center to serve lunch to the seniors who have come to dine.
Before you leave, make sure all your fellow Kiwanians leave with
you.
